How George Hill’s Flyer Won New Customers

Last summer my aunt Ginny found a marketing flyer on her front doorstep. She was so impressed with the wording on the flyer that she called and read it to me. It was from George Hill, a local handyman, plumber, electrician, painter; you name it and he said he can do it. This flyer uses a really unique approach and was such an attention-getter that I wanted to share it with you.

A Different Approach

Have you ever read a flyer that made you smile? This one did just that. And it got results. George acquired a new customer with his flyer; actually, dozens of new customers – and still counting.

I needed some work done on my deck, so after reading his flyer I called George. He came to my house, gave me an estimate and I hired him. He did a great job! I gave George’s flyer to my next-door neighbor and George acquired another customer. This one flyer made the rounds of my neighborhood and George was busy with work for the next two months.

I’ll bet you have never read anything like the wording on this flyer.

The owner of my company ‘Volunteered’ me to take over our $5,000,000 a year supply sales department. I did not have a clue. I remembered going to an Ann Barr sales seminar many years ago. I bought her book. I saved my job, increased supply sales revenue by 7%; more than doubled our profit margins.

Happy Client

Ann, I distribute your “Weekly Sales Tips” to my sales reps every week. I ask that for just one day that week that they focus on the “tip” and try to use it on every call that day. What’s fun to hear is the feedback I get from them on how the tips have worked – so they really see the benefits and continue to utilize the techniques for more than just one day.
